US gets the best available players who can skate.
We try to get too cute with bottom 6 and top 6

Cirelli, Jarvis, Parayko, Marchand...... No business being here
Canada has like 8-9 guys that should not be on the team

Defense if fully healthy should be

Makar - Toews
Theodore - Pietrangelo
Weegar - Morrisey

Forwards out: Marchand, cirelli, hagel, and only take 1 of bennett and Konecny

I’d like to see McDavid with Mackinnion and Crosby with Marner.
The speed of the first pair would be extremely difficult to handle and the second pair are strong skaters but overly fast skaters.
 
Not at all happy with Binnington.

Crosby tried to force the puck through the American player rather than pass it past him, but considering his greatness wearing the Maple Leaf, he kind of gets a mulligan. I expect him to make up for that mistake in the third.
Yeah how we didn’t take Thompson is diabolical… guy has been on fire and we don’t take him…

Hockey Canada in a nutshell. We just saw this at the WJC. Always the smartest people in the room, just pick your 12 best forwards and go from there. So much deadweight on the roster. That bottom 6 is gross.

Marchand was a legacy pick, his peak as a player came during the two Olympics that there was no NHL participation and he was quite vocal about his frustration. He's definitely past his prime now..... Honestly, I think they did JT dirty. Tavares has a strong track record with Canada and is honestly a better player than Marchand or Bennett at this point, even Jarvis. Cirelli has turned into a pretty good two way C so you can maybe argue that one a bit but JT is still the more talented player.
 
Canada has brain fog. They lack focus in a big way right now. Coherent plays aren't being executed.
